Congrats on the first harvest. I bet the beets taste as good as they look.

Hi, Kim. Thank you. Yes, the beets have been delicious. A very worthwhile crop to grow.

The beets are beautiful and the Glacier tomato looks like it is at the peak of perfection. I've been picking beets, but it will be a while before even my Glacier tomatoes are ripe.

Your beets look lovely!

Thank you, kateri. I hope you'll soon be tasting a luscious 'Glacier'. Should I tell you?... I had my second one this morning.

Thank you, Arwen. All credit to Kathryn Elliott, self-proclaimed "beetroot fiend" for inspiring me to grow them & providing tasty tips on how to enjoy them.
